One question a lot of students and families want to know, what majors do you see thriving in this new era? >> What's so interesting, it's it's really changing. Computer science has been on a rocket ship in terms of enrollments and majors over the last several years. It's hit a peak and it's dropping right now. I think computer science will level off because it's going to continue to be ways of high-end coding and other things that are going to be important in this new world. But for those who just wanted to learn to code and others, now they're just going to use Claude and say we can move on from all of that. So we're seeing that really begin to drop. But interesting, many of our humanities courses are now seeing higher enrollments and our majors are stabilizing and going up. Classics, for example, and this was before Odyssey came out, to be honest with you. So when you look at classics, we are over enrolled in classics. There's something about understanding humanity, deep history right now, that is really powerful for students. Philosophy, that sense of logic, that sense of how do I understand the mind, how do I understand the world, how do I understand the way that people have made meaning throughout centuries. Those become really powerful skills and we're seeing those students gobbled up by financial organizations, by tech organizations. They are in high demand. Anthropologists are getting getting picked up quickly by a lot of the tech organizations who need people to understand culture, who are keen observers. So there's a lot that's shifting right now and I think we're going to continue to see that in terms of enrollment patterns, majors and other things in the years to come.
